What a year it’s been for the team at Maraki as My Nu Leng and FineArt’s explosive new home label continue to roll out the belters, rolling on from Bushbaby’s extremely well received ‘Force’ EP earlier in the year. Here we see them gathering the full strength of their roster for a four track bonanza as ‘Spaces’ vol.1 takes its place on the release catalogue.

The EP kicks off with label co-founder FineArt flexing his production muscles as he pulls out the official VIP mix of ‘Lighter Crew’, the original of which was extremely well received, collecting serious backing and festival features.

Next up, another summer special from the likes of Skue-K with his absolute behemoth of a bass composition in ‘Loco’. This one has been tearing stages apart up and down the country with his lethal synth movements and vibrant textures, making it one of the most popular drops of 2018.

Up next steps favourite Bushbaby with the immaculate arrangements of ‘Sonder’. This one is a horn driven expanse of sub movement and catchy grooves, designed to turn the big stages to moshes in seconds.

Finally we finish up with ‘Untitled DJ Weapon’, an absolute nuke of a collaboration from label debutantes Zero and Vellum, who have concocted a bag of extreme neuro flavour with this one.

The release has received major backing from the biggest names in the scene and with a line up that potent, is anyone really surprised? This one is available to purchase / stream via all stores now.

It’s a very exciting time for UKG as a scene, with numerous different labels, both old school and new flourishing in a rapidly widening field of fortune. We are seeing some super impressive work from the likes of Four40, Slime, , Beastwang, Kiwi and a host of other names, giving the scene a real injection of vibrancy and fun, which is leading to more producers getting involved in the UK’s go-to summer sound.

The Brighton based label has always been seen as a forward thinking imprint, always looking to get involved with the next sound and be a part of what is new and vibrant within bass music. Their extensive roster has seen some top draw names pass through over the years, including the likes of Bushbaby, Skepsis, Darkly, Distinct, Freddie Martin, Zero and more.

What better way to kick off a monday than with an exclusive premiere eh?Today we are heading over to LA, one of the new leading lights in the American Bass scene, with a tonne of new and exciting artists emerging from the mist every day. We are absolutely loving the American influence on world bass music, with an influx of more techy influences and glitchy, poppy percussive additions making their way into more and more original creations.
